Wisconsin was already facing the challenge of replacing three starters from its 2012 defensive secondary. Now, it appears one of those players expected to take over a starting job may be leaving as well.

Citing a source with knowledge of the situation, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel wrote Wednesday that “the UW staff anticipates rising redshirt freshman safety Reggie Mitchellwon’t be with the team in the fall.” No reason for the staff expecting a departure was given.
